How do I manage my US employees’ taxes?

International businesses that hire US workers must make federal, state and local payroll tax payments to the government. You will also need to file reports and informational returns. There may also be state requirements as well, which will vary depending on the location of your business.

If you’re an international business operating in the USA, you’ll be responsible for paying federal payroll tax to the government:
